j. hanson

"J. Hanson’s Blood Orange is a mélange of rhythmic synthesized chanting and ethnic electronic doodles as equally playful as they are meditative. his creations envelop the senses, creating a gift russian dolled into the plastic and casing of the gift tapes vessel ~ a secret one will never know until they tear off the wrapping and place it in the tape deck. oh what a cruel and unusual pleasure they will find..." tiny mix tapes

"over the past few years, Josh Hanson has developed his own completely unique voice, crafting beautiful music with a Blacet modular synthesizer and tape loops. this is a collection of compositional ideas wound together to form unfamiliar terrestrial landscapes that feel as futuristic as they do ancient. taking inspiration from ’70s synth music and ethnic musics, New Ruined Maps travels through melodic passages, soft timbres and moments of complex rhythmic patterns like a lucid dream." draft
